Basic affordable comfort, but really far from the center of the city with few public transportation options and no shopping or eating venue in the vicinity. The offer of breakfast at the sister hostel near the station is not bad, but so far...

Rent och fräscht. Fina korridorer. Superbra kök med mycket av varje. Finns spis, ugn, Micro, brödrost, vattenkokare. Kastruller, bestick, diskmedel osv, Kyl och frys. Möjlighet att tvätta kläder. Uteplats från köket. Parkering direkt utanför ingången. Laddboxar för elbilar. Lugnt och snyggt område. Enskild wc med dusch. Enskild wc. Supersmidig information gällande in och utcheckning. Går inte att få det tydligare! Bra återkoppling från boendet då jag ställde en fråga via mail. Stort och rymligt rum med stor tv och bord med stolar och en enkel fotölj. Hylla och sängbord, klädhängare, stor spegel på rummet. Olika lampor. Mörkläggningsgardiner, men också persienner och t.om markis! Gick att öppna fönstren för vädring. Rejäla branddörrar. Tyst och lugnt. Det enda jag saknade var ett skohorn. Duschstrålen var stark och skön, ska jag anmärka på något var det väl att vattnet rann ner lite dåligt, och jag hade personligen uppskattat ett bättre toapapper, inte ett sånt där tunt med bara ett skikt. Jag kan definitivt tänka mig att bo där igen!!

Não voltaríamos

Foi uma experiência muito ruim. Chegamos, eu e minha esposa, a cama estava desforrada, era extremamente mole, e os travesseiros péssimos. O banheiro, apesar de ser na porta do quarto e não termos visto ou ouvido mais no ninguém no hostel, estava sujo, o ralo aberto, e molhava todo quando tomávamos banho. As únicas coisas boas que achamos foram a localização, perto do centro e fácil para caminhar até lá (mais ou menos 15min), e a disponibilidade de estacionamento na porta
